The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial life, and the high probablity estimates of its existence.In other words, if the universe is so big, then how can we possibly be alone?

Do they communicate in ways we can't detect? Are they avoiding us? Are we simply in an out-of-the-way corner of the galaxy? Did humans evolve too late, and everyone else is already dead? Or is it exactly as it seems - that in the infinite vastness of the cosmos, we are alone.

I love circular compositions - and with this one it drove a stronger narrative in the piece by trapping it inside of the sphere, and also echoed the idea of the eyeball and of the shape of planets. And if you look at the piece from further away, a black sphere on white gives the impression of an eyeball, which ties it back into the eye in the piece. (I like it when I can connect lots of things in an image!)
